Best Fried Zucchini With Dipping Sauce Recipes

CRISPY ZUCCHINI FRIES WITH BUTTERMILK RANCH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the buttermilk ranch dipping sauce: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, dill, celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
• For the zucchini fries: Add the flour to a shallow baking dish. In a second baking dish, lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a third baking dish, combine the panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; gently crush all the ingredients together with your hands--this will ensure an even coating on the zucchini.
• Lightly coat the zucchini sticks in the flour and then dip into egg mixture, coating evenly. Gently shake to remove excess egg and then generously coat the zucchini in the panko mixture. Transfer the breaded zucchini to a baking sheet.
• Fill a high-sided skillet with about 1 inch of oil--make sure the oil does not rise more than halfway up the side of the skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the zucchini sticks to the pan. Cook until light golden brown, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove the zucchini to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 175-degree oven until ready to serve.
• Serve the zucchini fries with the dipping sauce on side.

FRIED ZUCCHINI WITH CUCUMBER DIP

Steps:

• Using the small grate on your cheese box, grate one cucumber (unpeeled).Then grate 1/4 cup onion.
• Put both of the onion and cucumber in a sieve to let most of the water drain out. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add next 8 ingredients and mix it all together. Cover and put in the fridge to set about 8 hours. If you don't have 8 hours, it's okay. This dip can be made the night before.
• Slice some zucchini on the diagonal. Not only does this give you pretty cuts, it also gives you a little more per slice.
• In three separate bowls put some flour mixed with seasoned salt and dill weed. In the next, whisk one egg. In the last bowl, put some panko bread crumbs.
• Drop some zucchini slices in the flour. Coat boat sides well.Then drop into the egg bowl. Make sure egg gets on all sides.Then put the zucchini in the panko. Coat well.Repeat until all slices are breaded.
• Heat some oil over medium heat until it comes to about 360*. Carefully put the slices 4-5 at a time in the oil. After 3 or so minutes, turn the zucchini over.
• When both sides are golden brown, pull from the oil and set on paper towels to drain.
